Grilled Tuna with Tomato Salsa Time: 25 minutes
2 tuna steaks, 6 - 8 oz each (200 - 250 gr), about 1" (2.5 cm) thick, sushi-grade ahi if you can get it
1 tbs oregano
1 tbs olive oil
1 tbs white wine
Tomato Salsa
Finely chop oregano. Mix oregano, oil and wine. Brush onto tuna and let marinate for 10 - 25 minutes. When ready grill over direct heat using grill basket, mat or brush the grill with oil. Grill for 2 - 4 minutes per side for medium rare. If not sushi-grade you should probably cook until it is just opaque and flakes easily, 6 - 7 minutes per side. Serve with Tomato Salsa on the side.

2 tomatoes
1/2 green pepper
1 small can green chiles
1/2 red onion

1 tbs chopped oregano
1 tbs chopped basil
1 tsp chili powder
2 tbs olive oil
1 tbs Balsamic vinegar
Chop tomato, pepper, chiles and onion. Mince garlic. Chop herbs. Mix everything in a small bowl and set aside to blend.
